battle for bach mote is not yet over. ukraine's military says it wants to strengthen the embattled cities defenses. even as russian forces tightened their grip on surrounding areas. and a massive fire ravages the world's largest refugee camp. thousands of ro hanger refugees are homeless after a place devastates the camp in congress. is bizarre, bangladesh ah, hello, i'm claire richardson. thank you so much for joining us. it is exactly one month since a massive earthquake hit southern turkey and north western syria. more than 50000 people were killed in the worse natural disaster in modern turkish history. the quakes epicenter was near the turkish city of god's yon tap close to the syrian border. as you see here, a millions of people have been affected, left injured,

homeless, or lacking basic facilities anchor. i declared a 3 months state of emergency for the 10 provinces that were most affected. and the government also arrested contractors suspected of shoddy building that may have vastly increased the death toll and north western syria. years of war have made the situation harder to evaluate cities of aleppo. and it live among those badly het and a powerful after shock in the following weeks triggered new fears, dw mohammed al refi reports now from lab at nightfall, the 44 year old m r f. i. e fills his car with blankets and drives to the outskirts of it live far away from the cities crumbling residential buildings. he spends the night here with the sun. since the 2nd earthquake struck, northwestern, syria, and turkey. hundreds of families are afraid to sleep in their own homes,

for fear of being trapped inside. if they collapse, all that lizard is that after all the earthquakes, my son and i are traumatized and one that you didn't have. he didn't it. we don't dare stay at home because it's not safe. there was he and we haven't bought a tent and tense costs between $2400.00 and we can't afford wanted her to have decided to stay here with her. i medina, horning the earthquakes that struck northern syria and killed almost 6000 people. also destroyed thousands of structures. after the 2nd quake, nearly 200000 people were disclosed. families abandoned their homes as aftershocks made the initial damage from the quakes even worse. many moved into tents in front of the houses or in other public places. a son of relief organization based in germany,

says the challenges are numerous. i am in my what the law, the most crucial obstacle to expanding refugee camps during the, to accommodate the enormous number of people displaced by the earthquakes. with such money is that the communities were not ready to build such facilities and lockers. and as the challenge of providing enough tense, donnelly, with that i 2nd earthquake, because a little more, even more people abandoned their homes that are to fall out because of the trauma they experience. should it really shovel in the 1st one of his other a well near the city of id lib. mohamad looked carnie offered shelter on his farm and swimming facility to people who have lost their homes or to families who are afraid that buildings will collapse on them. than this villas as after the 1st earthquake, we received 20 families who lost their homes of sunny joanna. and after the 2nd one, latham many more came here because they were afraid to stay in their building sort of and this will, although, as you can see,

it is difficult to meet their needs at almost martha for thousands of syrians, the choice is between living on the streets or living in fear. i spoke earlier to thomas odella longer from the i f r. c, the international federation of red cross, red crescent societies. and i asked for the humanitarian situation in parts of syria, a country already ravaged by years of war and weather survivors there have received help be called a guardian store, where you quickly spoke about in more than a bit of work. but then that is what's called the them, there's a huge economic crisis and then out of the year, quicker needs are still enormous. we said since the beginning that these will be a great team worth where every agency everybody needs to go. it's all part. but then it will last longer is not something that we were sort of in a couple of weeks on ones, but it's something that we are the timeline of years because need

a huge and where we go to the more we see what he says, that mental health, and if you see one of the top priorities, so are there still people there in northwestern syria who have not yet received any kind of help? well of course, are there any little differences in the area of northwest in syria into more access into more challenges on the ground? so what they say is that does them as a, if a t we were through there a lot by and there was president in most of the, all the owners of the country then that idea that even before they quaker, as a huge, challenging them of boxes and these why, in the last 4 weeks we're eating every time or see what all the parties on the ground to give safe. and i mean, that have access to, you might want to come back to something you touched on just a moment ago. your organization has been sounding the alarm on another aspect of

this disaster, namely emotional trauma and the long term mental health challenges. do you think those are being addressed sufficiently sufficiently? you know, as i said, the needs are so big that no one can really addressing our sufficient way. i would say in both countries that we can see from our, from what we listen for a lot of people in the field from well as the experts at mental health and mental it critical. i mean that you want to quickly pointing out, underlined and people are afraid to go back out of 320 buildings. and we know by experience with best mentality since the beginning and in a sustainable way. not just in short them in long game, because these are the kind of rooms that i mean you can not see, but unfortunately they stayed with people for a long time. i want to look just briefly here at the government response in turkey . the president there has acknowledged shortcomings in his government's initial disaster response. do you think there are lessons to be learned here or was it just

not possible to be ready for a disaster of this scale? well i think that the no one can be really prepared to such a large scale disaster that here and syria went through. i mean i, i can give you an example. i'm italian and of the also my country is prone to national disaster. after every egg wake frustration of people was there and also the fact that the emergency response had some issues. so i think that every company can learn from the pastor in google, but the example such big, immense scale. these ask that it's very difficult to have our fuller emergency response. thank you so much for joining us with that update that is too much longer with the international federation of red cross and red crescent society. thank you . to crane now, where military leaders are determined to hang on to the embattled town of bach moot . that's according to a statement by president zalinski office. this news comes amid growing signs of

a rift between the russian mercenary group wagner and the kremlin. wagner, chief yevgeny provision says his representative has been denied access to russia's military headquarters in ukraine. he comes after provision released a message warning that his troops were running out of ammunition in buck most despite moscow promising new supplies last month. promotion said the lack of ammunition risk, the collapse of russia's front lines near the city. with the wagner mercenary group, expected to continue to play a critical role on the front lines. i asked the w, russia, analyst, roman, going to ranko how a deepening rift between the military and promotion might impact russia spring offensive? well, in, at this moment, or the wagner group seems to be moving forward, and it's probably in a position to, to capture one big city roaches board. and this would be, this would make,

gotten even more inflamed shows has been before. and he has accused the russian army a few months ago. ready trying to steal his victory in the smaller town or solar door, which is a neighbor. so we can expect attention. he between regoza and the russian army lies. thank you so much for that. that is our analyst, roman con, shrink a really appreciate your time is always staying in ukraine and a year of war has crippled the country's economy as russian attacks devastate energy infrastructure, disrupt production, and block ports. a work does go on despite the attacks. dw correspondent nick connelly has met with people in the new pro region who are keeping ukraine's metals industry going in the face of airstrikes. ah, it's a sound that means one thing. time to head for safety on the ground. no matter how many times you've heard it never stopped being unnerving when will began seeking

shelter, also meant stopping work. the urine and production of this metal block continues regardless. thanks to this improvised set up a little more than a few computers and internet connection people down here and keep the machines running up above. their boss shows us his emergency supplies. if needed, he tells us they could survive on these provisions for days or even weeks. so far this talk hasn't been hit with russian troops still less than 100 kilometers away. the risks are real lea bringing because it's this is war and no one can possibly know what will happen, tomorrow's okay to him and we can't afford not to be prepared. his vision is with us. i pray will never need any of this with others. but other ukrainian companies have been less fortunate to russian missiles a few days apart. it is production cited in the pro, killing 2 people at the 1st strike not come on the weekend. that figure would likely have been far higher. it's lottery, i to lottery's

a real can can time can come any time at any place. it any house at any facility. my 1st time here i sold the pictures. they did a one to come because i remember the equipment. i remember how much effort to spent making all this and that's russian. russian world is came to my a plant that how it looks like we visited other vicious lamps factories. it's still going, but it's struggling with the effects of russian attacks when ukraine's power system never had the power bill. when we have a, we'll get warm last month, 13, and the rocket alert energy company rock during the old milligan recipient. and that happens on predicament we never ever happens. we will lose around 40000 years in

a one minute. the material inside they cannot lose the temperature with the temperature, the brake and the brain generates is made all the difference. workers can now prevent uncontrolled shutdowns, buying time to buy pin natural gas that stabilizes the temperature until means electricity returns. where before they would lose days of production every time the power went off. now it's down to a matter of hours. the power isn't the only problem they're dealing with here. ukrainian firms operating against all the odds are increasingly finding that many customers in europe don't want to work with them. they're afraid that will prevent their ukrainian supplies from delivering more to everybody in that one. it will guide them that everything was at an event, learn to build, fighting, everybody fighting in late. my job is to make sure that the vendors are working able to get exhilarates. i can help the soldiers,

i can like with them. but not every business can role with the punches like this one that you love tells us that at least a quarter of his competitors have already gone out of business. and the bankruptcies keep coming. for all the resilience on show ukraine's economy is still in free for leaving this country. and it's all me ever more dependent on international support. earlier i spoke with a team of me lavonne off president of the key school of economics and adviser to the zalinski government. he served as ukraine, former minister of economic development, trade and agriculture from 2019 to 2022. and he told me what is most urgently needed to bolster the ukrainian economy. thank you. yeah, i just want to correct the things that i found by today that the economy is in free fall to finish the report. but that's not true. the economy is not in free fall. if we look at the dynamics month to month, it has the delight actually sometime around the summer and then later attack

started on the critical infrastructure on the door. so several months kit and then did. there was a continued duration, but before we got the actual estimates are not at 50 percent, but the 30 percent the national bank of ukraine recently issued it. you're correct? absolutely. on the structural rhythms, debt ukrainian company its manufacturing works on their. busy almost impossible condition and to answer your question short quickly, what needs to stay the lines of the a, the scope of the war or b? is that missing? international support and of course we need to work when the father agreed on the infrastructure of the company is kept the fish and electricity, other words they can produce template. ok, so we have an ukranian call economy facing major challenges. a recent report from your institution. they keep school of economics, put the total damage to infrastructure at almost a $138000000000.00. that is

a staggering some. where are we seeing most of that damage? most of the damage is actually come into the residential housing. 5 to 7 percent of all housing in the country have been destroyed. of course, it has not been done uniformly in the east of ukrainian northern. there isn't this out of the fight and how they can play. that's what the damage is. in some towns have destroyed, have been completely destroyed actually. but the 2nd one is in the infrastructure related to logistic, the road and to electricity. that's what with the major damage and they are recovered. that what we need to do is to focus on the electricity, as i mentioned before, but also logistics on the roads and bridges. one connections on very how and we know over the last month, russia has been repeatedly attacking critical infrastructure in ukraine. how much longer do you think factories like the ones that are corresponding, visited, can keep up production under these circumstances?

very roughly speaking, we can or should separate the areas in those which are close to the front line and which are further away. those which up further away they appear to be better protected and also it appears that. busy over the last weeks, the russian that, that have moved mostly to those cities and towns which are close to the front line . they continue that back throughout the ukraine. but the damage is mostly done in the, even closer to the area where the front lines. so give you a factory, all factory is in the front line, then you know, they get and disrupted daily or weekly goes miss styles. you know, landon in their factory, this is awful and it's very difficult to operate and the same deep, near impossible condition. so the answer there is better eric, more weapons to the defense effort and stopping the rock, denied the russian ability to do that. it would talk around the country more generally, that basically helping with trunk makers with barbara generators. so they have

electricity. and if men power an issue, we have some 8000000 ukrainians having left the country, tens of thousands of people wounded or killed. what kind of challenges do you think that this might posed for reconstruction in ukraine? actually, i'm afraid the numbers will be in hundreds of thousands of the deal and when the board is over, because i don't think we'll have what we have all the data yet. and if you think about my loan in the spring last year, that's tens of thousands there. so i think you are correct with point to now in the labor force, but i don't like to use the economic jargon. are labor force and people did that? humans in a family brother, the 3rd husband, wife, children they of course a lot of people have been killed. a lot of people are traumatized. people have been born that many people left the country. so indeed, there is a problem with, sorry, labor for if we talk about economy and it is very,

very difficult to find people to feel positions. and i think a lot of businesses which are active, which are working on a show and complain the very difficult to find people that will be a challenge after the war. timothy, no fun of president of the key school of economics. i want to thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us on d w. nist. let's take a look now at some of the other news making headlines around the world court and bella ruth has sentenced exiled opposition leaders, atlanta to cannot stay up to 15 years in prison for treason. she was forced to flee bella ruth, in 2020 after mass protest, broke out. when alexander lucas shank, a claim to a one. a dispute presidential election appear in the skirmishes of broken out in the georgian parliament over a controversial new bill. aimed at cracking down and what the ruling party calls for an agent. critics fear the government will adopt a law model on a similar one in russia. protesters also gathered by parliament in an effort to

block proceedings why massive fire has destroyed makeshift accommodation at the world's biggest refugee camp. more than 2000 shelters had blown down a cox with bizarre in bangladesh. there were no reports of deaths or injuries. the blaze was brought under control within hours, but authorities estimates and $12000.00 people have been left without shelter. the cause of the fire is under investigation. the facility houses hundreds of thousands of wrangle muslims who fled persecution in neighboring landmark. i'd like to speak now to wendy mccants, the director of the norwegian refugee council's office in bangladesh. thank you so much for speaking with us. can you tell us more about what the situation is like at the camp right now? yeah, so as you mentioned about 12 people last night when i from the fire they need to be

they have to be found someone who speak. i'm trying to give them a lot of people managed to be in the same shelter, some of their friends or some of the sensors that remain something like this morning. then we are able to get in to become and to find out what the damage really was. and it's one of the comes virtually about 11 and the population. and so as you can imagine, the work to be done, stakeholders working in the comes out really trying to find the best solution. i didn't bring feed and trying to find a kind of solution that temporary and other temperament. so they finding something and we are just looking at some footage from the fire just devastating images. and some of these people haven't left homeless again after fleeing

a crackdown in man mar, almost 6 years ago. what, what do you think the future holds for these people? yes. and you say people move down from my mom 60 years ago. they've been in the account for that period of time. some of them being the same ones already certify a couple of years ago, which affected some of the same people. so i'm really, really challenging situation as far as the teachers and it's something that we grapple in income. we're trying to find a good solution for that. the well calling on the axes and the stakeholders to try and think constantly doing amazing in the camps, which is not really looking to meet in the long term. so we need to find a better way and get sustainable energy into the lives of the ring. when i get into the camps, i talk to someone and that really questioning what's,

what's happening, what they're doing, they're needing help. every day they wanted to get school, they will be educated and have jobs and have a normal nice to pull that up. a lot of the companies will get back to the stage. it's not no notion the situation. so it's better. but we're really trying to find alternatives, and i thank you so much for taking the time to speak with us about it as well that wendy mccants from the norwegian refugee council in bangladesh. appreciate your time. universities have reopened after winter break in afghanistan, but only for men. the countries telivar rulers, bard, women from higher education last december, accusing them of violating the country. strict islamic dress code. the university ban is just one of several measures imposed by these holly been aimed at a racing woman from public life. back to class after the winter break.

and a chance to catch up with friends after time away. but the only sign of women at this private university in kabul is on the walls. and the post is encouraging female students to way ahead job a remind to have life here before the taliban band, women from higher education late last year. i mean, we didn't have any issue with our sisters having segregated classes from us. what i'll point was that even if they had to study alone, we were happy about it. last year we were segregated and they were studying who were happy about it. there was no issue with it. that's what i mean. yeah. the ruling in december was met with protest amid wide spread global outrage. with many of those taking to the streets, young women now being denied access to higher education such as music. but what my personal view is that if girls are not educated,

half of the society will be paralyzed. so half of the society needs to come out of this paralysis. the more progress you have in a society, the better goals are also human or whatever they love, all like whatever they want to become in the future. they must continue. and they must study in schools or at university wide from her pumpkin jo mccormick, ellsworth. that is why the taliban says the decision to bar women from university classrooms was made because dress codes and gender based religious restrictions were being ignored. the country is now among the most restrictive in the world for women's education, with a similar bond still in place for girls at secondary school. the united nation says the direct his could create a last generation, claiming every one has the right to an education. sports news now and in england. premier league. liverpool thrash. manchester united. 7 nel for court. their biggest ever, vic re over their rivals. most allows gord see with liverpool goals becoming the

clubs, record premier league score in the process. 6 of liverpool, 7 goals came in a dominant 2nd half. it was majesty united worse to feed to any team since 1931. so when surprisingly the 2 coaches were in very different moods after the game. let's hear from both. starting with liverpool. your can cop freak result taught performance. i read a top performance from the start. i thought the way we saw the game was really special, so it's best for a long, long, long, long, long, long time we will there be we're aggressive, but we played football. we were com in the right moment, super lively, super activity shelters, quite obvious. it's unprofessional. i don't think it's us, i don't think is miss united. so with really bad and for and ukraine's martyr costio has dedicated her 1st ever

a new user. research project continues despite the delay to morrow to do next on d, w. o. noon, should we how do we treat animals and why hasn't anything changed in the this is actually a clear violation of animal protection long. why do we love some as companions? while eating others? yeah, i never thought about how strange it was that i could had my dog with one hand while i ate a pork chop with the other. what is the alternative and how does it taste?

it's like the real thing. yes out. will we all be begin in 50 years? i literally think that like are the next generations? well, i'll look back and say, that's crazy that we ever use animals to get a documentary series about the future of food. and there were complex relationship with animals with the great media debate this week on d. w. and what if an asteroid gets too close to the of various techniques that are being developed to avoid possible disaster even if most asteroids that we know of have been homeless up to, you know, there have been exceptions the most.
